Mpokos Daughter In-Law ARRESTED

Former Vice President Phelekezela Mpoko’s daughter-in-law was reportedly arrested for ordering 15 Choppies Supermarket managers in Bulawayo to unlawfully dispense more than $30 000 cash from their Point of Sale (POS) machines after threatening them with either deportation or dismissal.

Prosecuting, Nkathazo Dlodlo said sometime in June this year, Nanavac Investments trading as Choppies Zimbabwe issued a directive to all its supermarket managers against giving out cash realized from sales to individuals whose arrangement is to replace the equivalent through swiping at Point of Sale machines.

“Upon being advised of the directive against such transactions, the accused would threaten the shop managers with loss of employment and deportation from Zimbabwe. She would also tell the complainants that her husband is the owner of the company and that they were mere employees under his authority,” said Dlodlo

Nomagugu is being represented by Professor Welshman Ncube of Mathonsi Law Chambers.
